We have just received correspondence from the Halifax Bank, including a bank statement of an account opened in the name of Grandma B by her social worker son and main abuser Robert Hofschröer.

After having abducted his mother to prevent her from continuing to litigate against him to recover the assets he and his family have already stolen from her, it was obvious he would use the opportunity to continue to plunder his elderly, disabled mother’s assets.

Having heavily sedated her, Robert Hofschröer then duped his mother into opening a bank account into which he diverted his mother’s pension payments. That is fraud by abuse of position.

As Grandma B’s carer Peter has Powers of Attorney for her, Robert’s act was obviously criminal. The Halifax Bank agreed and closed the account, transferring the balance to Grandma B’s own account.

The bank statement shows what Robert was up to. Three sums of £500 were withdrawn in rapid succession. Grandma B obviously did not need that money for her own use. Robert has blatantly robbed her. That is theft.

Robert found out that the Halifax had closed the account when he tried to withdraw another large sum. The cash dispenser swallowed the card, so he went into the bank to find out why. He now knows.
